 Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account! This IP address, , is one of the webcaches for the Aberystwyth University and is shared by multiple users. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this is not the IP address of your machine. AberWebcacheIPAddress/sandbox is the IP address of a proxy server that communicates between your browser and the Wikimedia servers. This and other proxies are shared among thousands of Aberystwyth University webcache users. To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register). Please note: Aberystwyth University webcache users often change IP addresses with each page they load. Warnings or messages left on this page will not likely be received by the intended user. Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.
The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.
The currently known list of webcache addresses is 144.124.16.28, 144.124.16.33, and 144.124.19.33. As the webcache is dynamically selected while in use, any attempt to block or ban any one of these IP addresses will be futile if they are not all blocked.
